Beaune, France--April 13, 2007

Friday evening, we took a quick tour through French wine country, the region of Burgundy. After driving a slow-moving Opal for 2 hours we came to Beaune (pronouced "Bone", but with a French accent). Beaune is a quaint little town that houses all the Burgundy wine caves.




We set off to explore the town: Le Hospices de Beaune, The Bascillica Notre Dame, and other sites.

















Along the way, we stopped to try some local wines. All of which were local Burgundy wines!







Our favorite was the Côte de nuit, 2004!






Here is Steve enjoyin his glass.



After sampling several types of Burgundy, it was time for dinner. We stumpled across a cafe serving local cuisine: Quiche Bourgogne and Quiche Lorraine (region north of Beaune).
